This is a bugfix release for v2.6.0 which had some serious problems with the generated bash scripts on some platforms (#231, #232, #233, #234, #235, #236) . All users are advised to update quickly.

If you still wonder why this release is called Penetrating Pineapple you might watch this
(or don't, my sense of humor is embarrassing anyways).

2.6.0 Penetrating Pineapple

New release with a bunch of smaller features.
The highlights are:

• Fix inconsistent handling of duplicate directories in the shellscript.
• Speed improvement: Do not even hash one file of a hardlink group if no -D is passed.
• Switch default hashing algorithm to the newly implemented blake2b.
• -o stats will print some internal statistics about a run.
• The progressbar will display an time estimation on how long the run will take.
• --equal is able to compare files or directories to each other.
• -D learned to also honour the directory layout of two dirs with a special option (-j / --honour-dir-layout)
• Many smaller bugfixes, upgrading to the latest version is advised.

As always, refer to the CHANGELOG.md for a lot more details.
